Morne Morkel has announced he will retire from tests(not sure if all cricket) at the end of this series. Been one hell of a bowler

Only internationals.
Possibly moving to Australia and play BBL for Brisbane

would be a pretty good get. Isn’t his wife the lady on the big bash coverage?
Yes, is married to Roz Kelly and they have a child together that was born in South Africa
Hear, hear.
Whatever happened to his brother, Albie?
I see that name and I just think “Mangles”

Carved out a useful career for himself in the IPL, and has probably earned way more than (the vastly superior) Morne ever managed…
South Aus held out till just before tea with a big Carey Zampa partnership until Carey got caught near the boundary for 98. An over later, it’s finished. 3 wickets. Doggett 5-fa
Head made 85
Head and Mennie were batting well and had put on 99 for the 5th wicket until Mennie got one of the worst LBW calls you will see. Wouldn’t have hit a second set of stumps. In the end our poor first innings was the difference though and now it’s almost season over whilst Queensland are a strong chance to host the final
Yeah that was a shocker - swinging miles down the leg side.
Concur with that.
shocker indeed
Love that test cricket is back. We are batting after winning the toss with an unchanged lineup.
We’re batting first v Saffers. First over a maiden
Saffers waste a review on a Bancroft LBW.
If they get the pitches right, this could be a classic test series
Bancroft out cheaply, again.
By the end of this series we’ll have a much better idea how good our batting lineup really is.
Lots of pressure on lots of guys. Not a good start for Bancroft.
